V without other letters means V8 only, then the 108 if nothing else is stamped on tool means it is early...by about WWII KRW was using the base Ford part number associated with the tool as the designation. Does it act with a straight push or a rotary motion, and how stiff is it...can spring be compressed by hand or is it real stiff?
I was thinking of the axle pinion torque gauge that hooks on pinion and measures the light torque needed to rotate it. Don't have much listing info here at work.

If you haven't already done so, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on The Ford Barn, sister GJ site. You might want to post that question on the Early V-8 forum. I'd put it on the Model A forum as well for good measure. Some KR Wilson gurus out there.

OK...looks very like an ignition point spring tension tester, but sounds like it has too much tension and wrong directionality for that. Should be for something similar, some kind of spring tension.

Those numbers must be ounces, not pounds!

OK...found the V-108 in the 1933 Ford service bulletins. I was surprised to see in the drawing it is indeed used in push mode, unlike the several Snap-on and such versions I have which hook and pull. The '33 type point sets should start to open between 19 and 22 ounces...
